If you filled in your profile we would know where you are - Ok - south west - but south west of where?

ad something like "offers in the region of £x" would be helpful.

serious or is that a joke price

the vans worth £6-7k,

how old is the machine ( how many hours)? the performer is no longer made so it could be worth up to £5k-£8k

unless you live within 15miles of Kevin the customers are worth nothing

so I would start negotiating at around £12k

LOL, more chance of getting some good investment with a HWE machine than there there is of getting £30k for the above! :P

Good  luck anyway!

How many hours has the machine done?

Also its a pretty new van, why the sale? is business not profitable, just wondering weather the business has value or are we just talking kit?

Just had a thought, im sure Hydramaster was doing a truckmount plus van for 21k, it was a long wheel base transit and a boxer 421, so very good van and TM brand new! you must be placing alot of value on the 400 database!

I don't think you'd get that deal from HM anymore but you could get a Boxxer 318 on a simular deal, as for the 400 database the statistics I once got when we bought another business is that you will lose 10% of customers just because of change of ownership.

For £30k you could buy new (£25k) and with say £5k you could do what that cc in Beverley does and leaflet big areaa drops constantly for 6 months and get far more than 400 customers IMO.

The intangible is the value of the Client database.

What questions would somebody interested need to pin down?

After all a list of names on a database mean nothing. Commercial contracts, maintenance plans and TFNs are a different ball game to a wad full of £50 invoices.
